Died when the session ended · The 2020 session adjourned on June 14, 2020, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill authorizes school boards to extend one-way school bus riding times for pupils in a number of ways.

Second, a school board may extend the riding time for an elementary or high school pupil beyond 75 minutes if the board holds two public hearings on a proposed resolution describing the bus route change, publishes notice of the public hearings, notifies all affected persons of the proposed change 30 days before the route change is made, and adopts the resolution at the next regularly scheduled board meeting.
